this is like gg to be the best entry for myself. as u know, its already past midnight which means my birthday is offically over. and it reli tempts me to post the 'loot' i got this year. so be it 'showing off' or 'hao-lianing'. Im just lovin it!

1)



hanming and desmond brought me to this japanese restaurant. so authentic they sell a slice of honeymelon for 12.80. obviously we didnt get that but ate some reli costly blackpigmeat dishes. i grumbled when no spoon was given to drink the miso soup. had to reli follow the culture and drink it straight from the bowl! went walkin ard and stopped at a cafe to chill and relax. had good time catching up with des. juicy gossips and future endeavours. thanks hanming and desmond!

loot: Levi Signature Belt ( yes its so formal it has to be in caps)

2)

i met my sis at bukitpanjang plaza where she pulled me along to harvey norman for a costly yet reali pleasant surprise. yes a mp3. some of you might hav heard me grumble abt always using my phone as my mps. dat bulky ugly looking hp. so my sis decided to get me a proper mp3. not wait, mp4! had quite a hard time choosing one i like and yet reasonably priced since i didnt reli want my sis to spend so much juz on the mp3. in the end i got this! thanks sister!

loot: Creative Zen V Plus with skin

i am really really thankful for wat u guys have done. i hav to admit i got touched ( ok abit mushy) when i saw the presents being drawn out from the carriers. this year's birthday was like the best out of the ones i had. words simply cant express my deepheartfelt gratitude for those whom hav one way or another accompanied me thru every phase of my life. i reli enjoyed every tiny weeny bit of my 20th birthday celebration with u guys. u all simply made my day better than better.!

thank you all so so much!
